Jenny spent a lot of her growing up years in Quito, Ecuador as the youngest daughter of missionaries for Christ - Kent and Sharla Marcum. Sharla, is my husband Steve's sister who is one year younger than him. Throughout her young life, Jenny has been a model of faith for those who she has come in contact with.

Here you see a picture of Jenny and her husband Eric with their two little ones. They are missionaries for Christ in Bolivia, South America.

One month ago, Jenny found out that she had a rare form of cancer in her thigh. Usually there are about 200 cases of this in the United States each year. Generally, a person will need to have his/her leg amputated to survive.

Yesterday, Jenny wrote these words:
.
Thirty one days ago I was diagnosed cancer.
- On day 1, we got on our knees and threw ourselves into our Fathers arms.
- On day 3, we praised God for plane tickets that were given to us.
- On day 5, we praised God as we were embraced by all the ones who have come to Christ in His body in Sucre Bolivia during these years of work.
- On day 7, we praised God as we boarded a plane to seek medical care in the States on day 6 and were received in the airport by 30 loved ones.
- On day 8, we praised God for Dr. Stanley as he established our diagnosis here in the States and arranged for the Mayo Clinic to see my case.
- On day 11, we praised God for results of our CT scan that showed us that the cancer had not spread to my lungs...
I know that you will be blessed by reading the rest of this PRAISE from Jenny, HERE.
